bath .... how come you generate so many replies ... you are well on the way to 40 again .... ;-)
your best solution is to go back to 98se or 2000
unless you are doing rocket science it's more than enough for a bit of surfing e-mail 'n' stuff like that.
I really don't see that adding memory is going to do much more than lowering your savings.
It's the combination of small disc, old processor, low memory .... blah blah. (like hitting 50 - takes all night to do what you used to do all night)
I still run a 98 (virtual) machine and it's the fastest machine I run ....
XP is flashier prettier, BIGGER, HUNGRIER and more out of place(ier) and unsuitabl(ire) on your machine.
you could try throwing out all the passengers .....
right click My Computer
then from the menu take Properties
goto advanced
press Settings
tick the "Adjust for best performance" setting
(ok, ok, ok)
reboot ... see if there is a difference
right click on the desktop (where there is just empty space and no icons)
Properties
on the Themes tab - change the theme to "classic"
reboot .... see
said it once ... big wheels won't make a mini go faster.
just a waste of money
what will make you go faster .... is a faster car.
will cost more ... but will work better
if you want it to look faster ... only race old cars ... that way it's equal
